This volume focuses on the implementation of the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL approach), designed to foster the integration of heritage management in regional and urban planning and management, and strengthen the role of heritage in sustainable urban development.Earlier publications and research looked at the underlying theory of why the HUL approach was needed and how this theory was developed and elaborated by UNESCO. A comprehensive analysis was carried out in consultation with a multitude of actors in the twenty-first-century urban scene and with disciplinary approaches that are available to heritage managers and practitioners to implement the HUL approach.This volume aims to be empirical, describing, analyzing, and comparing 28 cities taken as case studies to implement the HUL approach. From those cases, many lessons can be learned and much guidance shared on best practices concerning what can be done to make the HUL approach work.Whereas the previous studies served to illustrate issues and challenges, in this volume the studies point to innovations in regional and urban planning and management that can allow cities to avoid major conflicts and to further develop in competitiveness. These accomplishments have been possible by building partnerships, devising financial strategies, and using heritage as a key resource in sustainable urban development, to name but a few effective strategies.For these reasons, this volume is primarily pragmatic, linked to the daily work and challenges of practitioners and administrators, using specific cases to assess what was and is good about current practices and what can be improved, in accordance with the HUL approach and aims.

In cities around the world, urban culture is threatened as commercial pressures overwhelm concerns for architectural integrity. Recognizing that isolated efforts at architectural renovation do not automatically restore the historic integrity of cities, planners are now seeking new methods and tools to save the structure and history of cities. In this book, Nahoum Cohen establishes the emerging discipline of urban conservation as crucial to the future of urban planning and to the survival of cities into the 21st century.

This new volume in the GCI's Readings in Conservation series brings together a selection of seminal writings on the conservation of historic cities. This book, the eighth in the Getty Conservation Institute’s Readings in Conservation series, fills a significant gap in the published literature on urban conservation. This topic is distinct from both heritage conservation and urban planning despite the recent growth of urbanism worldwide, no single volume has presented a comprehensive selection of these important writings until now. This anthology, profusely illustrated throughout, is organized into eight parts, covering such subjects as geographic diversity, reactions to the transformation of traditional cities, reading the historic city, the search for contextual continuities, the search for values, and the challenges of sustainability. With more than sixty-five texts, ranging from early polemics by Victor Hugo and John Ruskin to a generous selection of recent scholarship, this book thoroughly addresses regions around the globe. Each reading is introduced by short prefatory remarks explaining the rationale for its selection and the principal matters covered. The book will serve as an easy reference for administrators, professionals, teachers, and students faced with the day-to-day challenges confronting the historic city under siege by rampant development.

Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through examples from across Europe and further afield and relates them to the sustainability agenda.

Much of the current debate on how we should preserve our cultural heritage revolves around urban sites – historic monuments in urban settings, historic districts, or complete historic towns. The growing complexity of urban heritage conservation makes reaching a consensus on how to manage urban heritage difficult. Additionally, the sharp increase in the world's population now living in urban areas, combined with a lack of policies to facilitate a sustainable use of heritage assets means the pressure on historic sites is set to rise. Unless new and innovative ways of managing these sites can be agreed on, there is a real danger that historic cities as we know them today will not survive the first decades of the 21st century. The Historic Urban Landscape: managing heritage in an urban century offers a comprehensive overview of the intellectual developments in urban conservation. The book examines its modern interpretations and critiques, and the way in which the classical approach has been challenged by the evolution of the conceptual and operational context of urban management. Analyses are provided of how World Heritage sites are managed - with associated debates and decisions – to inform the development of local urban conservation policies and practices. The authors offer unique insights from UNESCO's World Heritage Centre and the book is richly illustrated with colour photographs. Examples are drawn from urban heritage sites worldwide – from Timbuktu to Liverpool – to demonstrate key issues and best practice in urban conservation today. The book offers an invaluable resource for architects, planners, surveyors and engineers worldwide working in heritage conservation, as well as for local authority conservation officers and managers of heritage sites.

Abstract: Design Thesis: Sustainable Urban Conservation ---A Design Strategy for the Renewal of Zhongshan Road Historic Block in Quanzhou City Abstract In our modern cities we have lost sight of the traditional understanding of urban space. Fast, unconsidered urban construction simply demolished everything for new development, whatever in developed or under developed countries. Historic blocks, especially those located in the commercial district of city, are undergoing the destructive transformation. In recent years, public start to focus on conservation of unique characteristic of city and search of the vanished past. Along with the urban economic development and adjustment of industrial structure in China, a majority of conservation projects are combined with commercial development. It is a sustainable urban conservation discussed in thesis. Conservation can not be understood simply that conserving without any changes. If we just pay attention on the single heritage building only, cultural atmosphere and historical environment is different to conserve. Combining conservation of heritage buildings with redevelopment of adjacent areas is the effective method. Zhongshan Road Historic Block is a representative study area for achieving the target of thesis. The conservation principle and method of historic block in China has reviewed for design strategy. Especially, historic Block is different from Heritage Conservation Unit or Historical and Cultural City, it needs a sustainable plan to support itself because it always presents huge scale and quantity. From the case studies, it has provided the solutions for the study area in Quanzhou. Basing on the analysis of study issues of Zhongshan Road Historic Block, case study starts with two points: planning and architecture. Planning Quanzhou is a congregation zone with multi-religion, unique multi-culture is another valuable heritage except architectural. Conservation of Confucius Temple in Nanjing was implemented in protecting its cultural environment. The focus of case study is on its conservation method and treatment of cultural environment. Architecture Shophouse is one of architectural features in Quanzhou; it is a major element to contribute the commercial environment as well. Chinatown in Singapore also is a conservation area occupied by numbers of shophouses. The purpose of case study is to survey the relocation of shophouse function and solution to conflict problem between commercial and residential use. Melody, HUANG YANI, 2006990960 Design Thesis: Sustainable Urban Conservation ---A Design Strategy for the Renewal of Zhongshan Road Historic Block in Quanzhou City According to government's conservation proposal, conclusion of case studies and site analysis, overall design strategy is composed of conservation and redevelopment. Conservation Š Heritage buildings is exploited to constitute plaza and opened to public after restoring the buildings and relocating the function. Š Shophouses as a medium contribute to continue the traditional environment and supply services for heritage buildings and tourism development. Redevelopment Š New development is the primary factor for economic return except the shophouses which is small units for rental. But for conserving the total historic environment, n

More than half of the world’s population now live in urban areas, and cities provide the setting for contemporary challenges such as population growth, mass tourism and unequal access to socio-economic opportunities. Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability examines the impact of these issues on urban heritage, considering innovative approaches to managing developmental pressures and focusing on how taking an ethical, inclusive and holistic approach to urban planning and heritage conservation may create a stronger basis for the sustainable growth of cities in the future. This volume is a timely analysis of current theories and practises in urban heritage, with particular reference to the conflict between, and potential reconciliation of, conservation and development goals. A global range of case studies detail a number of distinct practical approaches to heritage on international, national and local scales. Chapters reveal the disjunctions between international frameworks and national implementation and assess how internationally agreed concepts can be misused to justify unsustainable practices or to further economic globalisation and political nationalism. The exclusion of many local communities from development policies, and the subsequent erosion of their cultural heritage, is also discussed, with the collection emphasising the importance of ‘grass roots’ heritage and exploring more inclusive and culturally responsive conservation strategies. Contributions from an international group of authors, including practitioners as well as leading academics, deliver a broad and balanced coverage of this topic. Addressing the interests of both urban planners and heritage specialists, Urban Heritage, Development and Sustainability is an important addition to the field that will encourage further discourse.
